Arsenal are back in Premier League action next week after over one month without a competitive fixture, due to the winter World Cup. The return will see the Gunners top of the league with a five-point gap to second-placed and current champions Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola's side were in action last night in the Carabao Cup against Liverpool but are expected to apply the pressure onto the Gunners ahead of the upcoming title race.
For Mikel Arteta's side, they have a London derby in their first match back with West Ham United visiting Emirates Stadium on Boxing Day. However, even with the gap between their most recent fixtures, there are some injury concerns for the manager to deal with.
